Description
This 50m2 top-floor bungalow in La Siesta, completed in 1997, comes with a private rooftop solarium that lower-floor units in the same block do not have. The property holds 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with air conditioning installed throughout. Natural light reaches all principal rooms, and the solarium adds usable outdoor space that meaningfully extends the living area beyond the 50m2 internal footprint. The block sits within a maintained complex with a communal pool available to all residents.La Siesta is a residential area located roughly 4 kilometres north of Torrevieja's town centre. The neighbourhood has its own local shops, bars, and pharmacies along Calle Lepanto and the surrounding streets, so day-to-day errands rarely require a trip into the centre. Alicante-Elche Airport is 35 minutes away by car, which makes the bungalow a practical choice for owners who travel frequently or who want a property accessible to visiting family and friends. Regular bus services connect La Siesta directly to Torrevieja town centre.Community fees for the complex are €250 per quarter, covering upkeep of the communal pool and shared gardens. Annual IBI stands at €130. The property carries an energy rating of G. La Siesta sits within the Torrevieja municipality, an established short-stay rental market, and the private solarium is a feature that performs consistently well in holiday-let listings for the area. The combination of low running costs and strong seasonal demand makes this a straightforward property to manage as a rental.

About La Siesta, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a resale in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries ITP transfer tax at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on the entire value above €1,000,000. Note that tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any figure based on the asking price as a minimum. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the Valencian Community's conditions — for example, age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and are worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks generally lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed rates for non-resident mortgages are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker experienced in cross-border applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Annual IBI (council tax) is €130. Community fees, which cover communal pool upkeep and shared garden maintenance, are €250 per quarter. Utility bills for a property of this size are modest, though consumption varies by usage. There is no basura (refuse collection) annual fee recorded for this listing; the agent can confirm the current charge.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings via WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any platform that suits you. Our local agents can walk through the property live, answer questions in real time, and share footage of the solarium, communal pool area, and the wider complex. Contact us to arrange a convenient time.
What is the rental potential of this bungalow?
La Siesta sits within the Torrevieja municipal area, which is an established short-term rental market. The private rooftop solarium and access to the communal pool are features that perform well in holiday-let listings. Rental income depends on the weeks you make the property available, the platform used, and local seasonal demand. A local property management company can provide realistic occupancy projections based on comparable units in the area.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor or a gestor can obtain on your behalf. Once a price is agreed, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market while due diligence is completed. A private purchase contract (arras) follows, at which point typically 10% of the purchase price changes hands and a completion date is fixed. Final completion takes place before a Spanish notary, where the balance, taxes, and associated fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed and registered.
